  The Benefits and Challenges of Independent Journalism

  Jul 3, 202620 min

  The media industry is changing at a pace we’ve never seen before. Layoffs, shrinking newsrooms, the rise of the creator economy and new platforms like Substack are challenging what it means to be a journalist today. More reporters are leaving traditional media, or being forced to leave, and building independent brands. But can independence truly replace everything a newsroom provides? What do journalists gain, what do they lose, and what does this transformation mean for the future of journalism? To help us explore those questions, White House Correspondent Patrícia Vasconcellos interviewed Mallary Tenore Tarpley. Mallary is an award-winning journalist, journalism professor, and the author of the thought-provoking article "What Journalists Gain—and Lose—When They Go Independent."
